Acts 28:4-6 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          4When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
          5But Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
          6The islanders were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
